Cook Plant has had pretty good success with the Ludlum 3030P which can reduce the Radon contribution by approximately 80%.

We would like a system that is simple to use but which can accurately distinguish TRU alpha emitters from Radon decay products without having to delay counting for decay. I understand that some sites are using the iSolo but I haven?t heard of anyone that isn?t having problems with the system?s algorithm working the way they want it to. If your site is using the iSolo or some other system to accurately and quickly determine TRU in the presence of Radon daughters on particulate air samples, I would really like to hear about it.
